9. Role of UV/Light in Grape Development
and Wine Quality
• Effect on “ageing” of white wines in New Zealand
• Changes to polyphenolic compounds
• Changes to amino acids/protein content
• Impact on aroma/flavour (methoxypyrazines)
• Lipoxygenase as an example of molecular approach
14. Amino Acid Metabolism and Implications for
Wine Industry
UV

NITROGEN
(Uptake and assimilation)
AMINO ACIDS
Methoxypyrazines:
amino acids as
precursors to
flavour and aroma
compounds Phenolics: amino
acids as
precursors –
implicated in
ageing and
bitterness in white
wine
Amino acid
composition and
implications for

bouquet and
yeast assimilable
nitrogen
Glutathione:
implicated in the
prevention of
browning
process
Valine, isoleucine,
leucine
Phenylalanine,
tyrosine, tryptophan
All amino acids
except proline
Cysteine,
glutamate, glycine
16. Light regulation of nitrogen
metabolism
• Light regulates the conversion of
glutamate into glutamine in the chloroplast
• This involves the GOGAT pathway and
requires ATP
• This assimilation of nitrogen then provides
amino acids/amines to the fruit
Glutamate Glutamine
19. Major aroma chemicals
• 3-mercaptohexanol/3-
mercaptohexanal
acetate
– Tropical fruit and
Citrus aromas
• Methoxypyrazines
– Green/green-pepper
or capsicum aromas

30. Methoxypyrazines
• Little is known about their
biosynthesis
– Thought to derive from amino
acid biosynthesis
• Accumulate up until veraison
• Degrade after veraison and
with exposure of grape
bunches to light
• At low concentrations (ng.L-1
)
contribute to green/green-
pepper aromas

UV responses & wine quality
33. Effects of UV and Leaf Removal on Wine
Quality
• Methoxypyrazine levels low in juice at harvest, but high early in grape
development: control of gene expression from amino acid precursors
• Amino acid composition different in juice in response to light environment
• Regulation of proline biosynthesis important for fermentation
• Flavonoids accumulate with UV exposure: role of transcription factors
• Lipoxygenase pathway: complex gene family and expression pattern
